Dalaman is located between the sea and mountains and benefits from its proximity to many areas of interest including historical interests. (e.g. Dalyan mud baths, ancient tombs etc). Dalaman is rapidly becoming an area of destination rather than just a stop over on the way to some other resort town. Recent investments to the Airport, roads and the continuous development of the area is making it more accessiable. Over - development and exploitation of the area is stopped by the protection afforded to the rare loggerhead turtles which frequent the river and beach. This should ensure that Dalaman continues to develop in harmony with its surrounding environment and retain its natural beauty.

Dalaman is the second airport for the Turkish Riviera where Marmaris and Fethiye are the main tourist resorts. The weather is warm here until well into the autumn. There are possibilities for all kinds of water sports and excursions in the surrounding areas. There are also plenty of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.

Dalaman is now rapidly becoming an investment area for many Euporeans purchasing property for an investment here in Turkey. This seems due to many factors including the town being designated a main touristic area from now on: plans for a new marina and a golf course are underway.
